Of course I don’t mind your guests photographing excessively on your very special wedding day. However, I don’t like guest photographers jumping in front of me during an important shot LOL! As in this day and age, it’s not very possible to control.
However, as the official photographer contracted to produce my best work for you; I will let the bride and groom know if a guest does make it difficult for me… Normally I politely, but assertively say to your guests that have cameras in hand that I would like to always shoot first and then they can fire away immediately afterwards.
I prefer experienced professional wedding Videograhers. They usually know how to work their way around a professional photographer at a wedding.
However, it is a possibility that an inexperienced wedding Videographer might stand in the middle of the aisle in front of the photographer. It has happened that they will even tell a Photographer to get out of their way LOL.
I try to develop a good rapport with the Videographer as soon as possible so that we can strive to work together efficiently to get the best results for you.
We have a couple of options… At the “Consultation” I will suggest some alternate “Indoor” locations for the “Portrait” photos for you to go see and consider in case of rain.
For some of these locations, we have to reserve a little in advance and possibly pay a fee. Of course I will be checking the weather forecast and if it looks like there is a good possibility of rain, we should make a decision about reserving an indoor location about 3-4 days before the wedding day.
Or I can look at renting a Photographer associate’s Studio by the hour at an extra cost. The Background would look something like this.
No…You don’t really have to, but it would be nice!! …I’m only human and do get hungry after hours of work like everyone else. I work extremely hard throughout the course of your special day, and build up an appetite.
A non-refundable retainer is required to secure the services of my photography services for your special day… Usually 60 days before & one half of the unpaid balance $ is due. The final payment is due within seven days of the event. I accept cash, e-transfers & cheques only.
Sunchasers Photography reserves the time and date agreed upon, thereby making no other reservations for this day. For this reason all if you should wish to cancel my Photography services before sixty days of the event, the full amount of your retainer will be returned to you. However, if the cancellation is within 60 days of the event, I will retain the full amount of your retainer.
No need to worry! I guarantee that if something should happen preventing myself from performing my services at your special occasion, I will dispatch another of my other highly qualified photographer associates to cover your event and reduce your contract fee in half.
This will be discussed and negotiated at our consultation. I’m not looking for any profit from this, only to cover my gas. However if you live more then 100 kms away from the city, I will expect you to pay for my accommodation and breakfast.
Other Expenses would include: Additional Reprints, Enlargements, or anything more then as we originally agreed upon. Also I would appreciate reimbursement for Parking fees, courier and postage expenses.
Yes!! I can make a Gallery (Public or private) for you & your guests to view the images at this Website: http://sunchasersphotography.zenfolio.com/
There you will easily find your Wedding Images once they are posted and I give you your password to give to all of your friends and family. Or if you don’t mind them being public you won’t need a password.
